Hi,
Let's meditate.
To find a comfortable sitting position,
You can sit cross-legged,
You can sit on a chair,
Just find your seat,
A seat that's empowering for you.
And today's meditation is on silence.
So I'll give the instructions and then we'll be silent for like five minutes.
So take five deep breaths and see if you can count the breath in and breath out and have a moment of silence.
Distractions may happen,
A person cough,
A baby cry,
Your phone rings.
That's part of silence.
Perfect silence is in your environment,
Isn't the goal.
The goal is to notice the distractions and not engage with it.
So we're going to take five minutes of silence without being distracted.
So I'll allow the noises around you not to inspire you to be fully present to the silence.
You can keep practicing counting five breaths.
Just sit,
Notice,
Witness,
You experience being silent.
Take a slow breath in and take a slow breath out.
Start to invite yourself back to your seat,
Noticing your seat.
Take a slow breath in and a slow breath out.
On the next inhale,
Bring your hands to your heart center and exhale.
Bring your thumbs to your forehead.
Silence can fill us with ideas or perspectives we hadn't had before.
It can refresh us and provide us with an opportunity to begin afresh.
So keep practicing silence throughout the day or any moment that you need to ground and be quiet.
You can always come back to this meditation or you can just take five breaths and just enjoy and observe the experience in silence.
Namaste.
Thank you so much for meditating with me.
